The Gutenberg press was an influential development during the Renaissance and Reformation. In this task, you’ll analyze the exte

nt of its influence. You’ll also read a short passage that discusses some effects of the Gutenberg press in Europe. Then, you will write a five-paragraph essay. In your essay, you will analyze the passage and argue in support of or against its thesis.
Read the following passage:

The introduction of the Gutenberg press allowed for an increase in the number of books that were printed across Europe. Before the invention of the printing press, only wealthy individuals and members of the clergy had ready access to books. Almost all written works were in Latin. After 1500, however, it became easier for people to find and afford printed books. As a result, literacy rates throughout Europe spiked. The general public was able to access multiple titles across multiple subjects and read these works in their common vernacular. Through reading, people kindled a growing awareness of cultural and political trends on the continent. This shift from an illiterate to a literate public was the single most important development in Europe and was pivotal in the spread of ideas that were so important to the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe.

Now, write a five-paragraph opinion essay. In this essay, argue for or against the thesis of the passage. Parts A, B, C, and D will help you draft your essay. Remember to keep your tone objective and formal. Also, make sure that you include accurate facts and details from the lessons and outside research in your answer.

(i already wrote my argument i just need help with the body paragraphs.)

Next, write three body paragraphs to support your argument. Your paragraphs must include facts from the lessons or outside research.

For body paragraphs, all you need to do is 1. State your reason(Topic-main idea)

2. Explain the relevance to your reason(textual facts examples, etc)

3. Commentary (An explanation of the details and topic sentence)

4. Counter-Argument (the opposing side, explain why they're wrong

5. Concluding statements in the last paragraph about topic and counter-argument  

1 & 2 could be in paragraph one, 3 & 4 can be paragraph two, then 5 could be your last paragraph. Hope this helped a little.

Answer:

Johann Gutenberg invented the modern printing press in the mid-fourteenth century, although the Romans already 400 years B.C. used clay molds and the Chinese in the eleventh century used porcelain pieces to make reproductions. In Europe, during the low middle ages, woodcut was used to print posters and pamphlets.

Gutenberg's merit was to refine existing printing techniques, cast each of the letters of the alphabet separately, and devised a system to put them one after the other and hold them. In this way it could compose pages faster and reuse the molds to compose others. To reproduce the drawings, the woodcut was still used and subsequently hand painted.

In 1452 the printing of the most important work in the world of printing began, the "42-line Bible" or "Gutenberg Bible", marking the beginning of the Printing Age. Of this (named for the number of lines printed on each page) 180 copies were produced (45 on parchment and 135 on paper), a large number of books printed at that time, receiving the name of incunabula, denomination that all books printed before January 1, 1501.

What impact did Japan’s geographic barriers have on civilization?
sweet [91]

Answer:

Different regions developed different traditions and cultures.

Explanation:

This is because some parts of Japan were on Islands or perhaps even hindered by mountains. With no other influence, they often developed their own traditions. ofc now and later they could travel and the like, but I assume this is in regard to older Japan. I can't really explain that well but if my answer is wrong I am so so sorry!! :(

Answer:

The Three-Fifths Compromise established that a state’s enslaved population would be counted for partial representation.

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement made between delegates during the Constitutional Convention (1787) that established that the number of seats in the House of Representatives for each state should be calculated in accordance to the number of free persons (excluding Indians not taxed) and the three-fifths of slaves in every state. In other words, the Compromise counted three out of every five slaves as people for partial representation. This agreement would increase the power of slave states.
